Course Offerings
In addition to the core ESH&S courses, you can take the following elective courses that are geared toward the practice of safety & occupational health.
Industrial Hygiene Sampling & Calculations (4 hrs)
This course is a continuation of the concepts of ESOH 270. The first two-thirds of the course places emphasis on methodologies of gas, vapor, and aerosol sampling; including instrumentation function and calibration, the last third of the course involves measurement and evaluation of physical hazards including noise, heat stress, lighting, and ergonomic hazards. The course will include a major emphasis upon the types of problems and calculations likely to be found in the ABIH certification examination. The course has laboratory exercises and uses a case study to explore the methods of sampling.
General Chemistry II with Lab (4 hrs)
This course studies general principles of chemistry with emphasis on behavior of solutions, equilibrium, thermodynamics, chemical kinetics, acid-base, precipitation, and oxidation-reduction reactions. Laboratory experiments cover equilibrium, chemical kinetics, acid-base chemistry, qualitative analysis of anions, and identification of Groups I-IV. Computer interface instruments are also used to collect data.
Additional Physics course (4 hrs)
Complete an additional physics course to increase your knowledge of the industry you will be working in.
Additional 300 or 400-level Biology course (4 hrs)
Add an additional biology course of your choice to learn more about your passion.
